Red is the most noticeable color of them all. It is no accident that stop signs and fire engines are usually red. This Curacao house is painted red as well, but I photographed it so that the red does not scream at us. I made a point to shoot it as the dappled shadows of the old tree standing before it broke up the color to create a sense of color, rather than describing the literal color itself. The low-key effect gives the house a less strident appearance – still unusual, but not shockingly so. I use color here to express mood here rather than to describe it as a red house. It leaves more to the imagination of the viewer, and that’s when images work best as expression.
